Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The inventiouwill rst be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.

A is the scraper, the lower edge of which is so formed as to lit upon the colter of the plow, and is provided upon said lower edge with tWo lugs. a1 and a2, one, al, of which rests against Athe land-side of said colter, and the other, a2,

upon its upper side, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The scraper A is so formed as to guide the soil and weeds removed by it back to the mold-board of the plow along which they pass, and are covered by the soil.

Upon the rear end of the scraper A is formed` a shank or standard, a3, which, extends up to the plow-beam, and may be secured to it by a band and wedge, by screw-bolts, by clamps, or other convenient fastenings.
